A new year brings fresh jewelry trends and timeless advice. See what’s ahead and get a jeweler’s tip to keep your pieces sparkling.
A new year is a fresh start — and a great time to take a look at what’s trending in jewelry while also caring for the pieces you already love. At Sullivan’s Jewelers, we believe jewelry should be both meaningful and wearable, blending current styles with timeless craftsmanship.
As we head into the new year, here are a few jewelry trends we’re seeing — along with a trusted jeweler’s tip to help you start the year sparkling.
Bold Details Are Making a Comeback
This year, jewelry is leaning slightly bolder, with designs that make a statement while remaining timeless. We’re seeing growing interest in pieces that feel substantial but still elegant.
Popular styles include:
- Thicker gold chains
- Statement rings with clean lines
-
Bands with subtle texture or detail
These pieces are easy to dress up or down and are designed for everyday wear — something we always keep in mind when selecting jewelry for our collection.
Colorful Gemstones Are In Demand
Gemstone jewelry continues to grow in popularity, especially pieces that showcase natural color and character.
Customers are loving:
- Blue stones like sapphire and aquamarine
- Soft tones such as morganite and topaz
-
Rich greens including emeralds
Adding a gemstone is a beautiful way to bring color into your jewelry collection while still keeping a classic look.
Mixing Metals Is Here to Stay
One of the most common questions we hear is whether mixing metals is “allowed.” The answer is yes — and it looks great when done right.
A simple styling approach:
- Choose one main piece as your anchor
- Add complementary pieces in different metals
- Keep styles similar for a cohesive look
This creates a modern, effortless style that feels intentional and polished.
Personalized Jewelry Remains a Meaningful Favorite
Personalized jewelry never goes out of style. Engraved pendants, birthstone pieces, and custom designs continue to be some of the most meaningful items we create for our customers.
Whether it’s a gift or something special for yourself, personalized jewelry adds a story behind every piece.
